Election by Successor Beneficiary/Separate Beneficiaries Sample Clauses
The 'Election by Successor Beneficiary/Separate Beneficiaries' clause defines the process by which individuals who inherit an interest in a trust or estate—either as successor beneficiaries or as separate beneficiaries—can make certain choices regarding their inherited share. This may include decisions such as how to receive distributions, whether to disclaim or accept the inheritance, or how to allocate assets among themselves if permitted.
